The Russia-Hating US Media Goes Into Overdrive Ahead of Summit - a Small Sampling of the Absurdity
The lying corporate media continue to self destruct - its becoming clear that they just can't help themselves.
The upcoming Trump/Putin summit is hampered by the crazed portrait of Russia painted by presstitutes. Jonathan Chait, Amy Knight, Max Bergmann, Yaroslav Trofimov, Roger Cohen, and the rest of the conscious or de facto CIA assets that comprise the Western presstitute media have turned Putin into a superhuman who controls election outcomes throughout the West, murders people without rhyme or reason, and has President Trump under his thumb doing Putin’s bidding. Who could imagine a more extreme conspiracy theory?
Jonathan Chait in New York magazine writes that “the dark crevices of the Russia scandal run deep,” so deep that “it would be dangerous not to consider the possibility that the summit is less a negotiation between two heads of state than a meeting between a Russian-intelligence asset and his handler.” http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/07/trump-putin-russia-collusion.html
So here is Chait, who brands truth-tellers “conspiracy theorists” coming up with the greatest conspiracy theory of our time that President Trump has been a Kremlim asset since 1987. Chait provides a ”crazy quilt of connections” to illustrate his absurd conspiracy theory that:
“it’s not necessary to believe that Putin always knew he might install Trump in the Oval Office to find the following situation highly plausible: Sometime in 2015, the Russian president recognized that he had, in one of his unknown number of intelligence files, an inroad into American presidential politics.”
Chait believes that Russia is also behind the UK’s exit from the European Union.
“Driving Britain out of the European Union advanced the decades-long Russian goal of splitting Western nations apart, and Russia found willing allies on the British far right.”
Chait gets even more conspiratorial. He admits that Paul Manafort’s indictments for alleged white collar crimes are not related to Trump’s election, having occurred years previously in Ukraine. Nevertheless, Chait is certain that Manafort is shielding Trump even though according to Chait Manafort is facing many years in prison. Why would Manafort shield Trump? Chait’s answer:
“One way to make sense of his behavior is the possibility that Manafort is keeping his mouth shut because he’s afraid of being killed. That speculation might sound hyperbolic, but there is plenty of evidence to support it. In February, a video appeared on YouTube showing Manafort’s patron Deripaska on his yacht with a Belarusian escort named Anastasia Vashukevich.”
Chait’s article is long and heavily weighted with innuendo. Chait, or whoever wrote the article, possibly the person who wrote the Steele Dossier, collects every disparaging fact and fantasy about Trump and assembles them in a way to paint a portrait of a person who must also, without much doubt, be a Russian agent. If the public can be convinced of this, the military/security complex can assassinate Trump and blame Putin for getting rid of an asset who was exposed by the Russiagate investigation, no longer useful, and perhaps prepared to spill the beans.
Another conspiracy theorist, Amy Knight, writes that “The real question is where does the Russian criminal state end and the criminal underworld begin, and how do they work together in what amounts to a new murder incorporated?” https://www.thedailybeast.com/novichok-victim-dies-did-the-kremlin-really-lose-control-of-its-deadliest-poisons?ref=wrap
Yaroslav Trofimov tells us in the Wall Street Journal (July 7) that “Putin maps out his own empire” to replace the lost Soviet one.
In the Washington Post Max Bergmann tells us that Trump is going to sell out NATO in Helsinki. This line leads to the supposition that Putin is using Trump to unleash the Russian military on Europe. Many conspiracy theorists have come together on the view that first the Baltic States will be invaded and then Putin will move on to Germany and the rest of Europe. The New York Times’ Roger Cohen even pulls Marine Le Pen into the plot which widens to include ethnically cleansing the West of the refugees from Washington’s wars.
This is the level of absurdity that the American media delivers to the public’s understanding of foreign affairs.

Thanks for the post, russia-insider.
I hope you don't mind if I test out some sentiment analysis on your post. This is an experimental bot running on posts that have exceptional positivity or negativity. The goal is to iterate towards a bot that gives content creators and curators actionable and useful information.
Your post was selected because it is in the 99th percentile for negativity.Your post had an average negative sentiment of -0.081, an average positive sentiment of 0.043, and an average normalized sentiment of -0.04
The most positive sentence in your post had a normalized positivity score of 0.215:
"That speculation might sound hyperbolic, but there is plenty of evidence to support it."
The most negative sentence in your post had a normalized negativity score of -0.38:
"Who could imagine a more extreme conspiracy theory?"
I doubt you are a bot (czech word meaning "robot") I am pretty sure you are an idiot with no knowledge of statistic, trying to cloud already cloudy minds of stupid people in DC. If you don't see further than your nose, please shut up and let smarter of us to do he job.
The comment above is a result of a script that runs on all posts in english with more than 500 words in a handful of categories. Admittedly the sentiment analysis is not that complicated. It basically uses the nltk library to categorize words and groups of words as positive or negative on a scale of -1 to 1. Your post just has more negative words in it than 99% of posts.
I apologize if it looks like my script (or bot, if you will) looks like it is trying to invalidate your post. On the contrary, I was hoping that by quantifying the positivity and negativity score, the sentiment scores would be objective and not have that affect. The only goal of these automated comments is to give you insight into your posts and help you better understand the content you are creating.
I also hope that readers don't see 'negative' and assume that that means your post is not of substance. If you believe that that is the case, it likely means I could use more descriptive language in the comments of these posts to give readers and content creators a better understanding of what the bot is for.
